Vice President Mike Pence used House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) words against her in a letter on Tuesday evening explaining why he will not invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office.The letter comes as Democrats have introduced an article of impeachment against the president for the riot that broke out last week in the nation’s capital. Democrats have also sought to pressure Pence into removing Trump from office by invoking the 25th Amendment. “Every American was shocked and saddened by the attack on our Nation’s Capitol last week,

Sorry, Mike. I was neither “shocked,” nor “saddened.”

Thanks to Vice President Pence for his unwillingness to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office. His letter to Speaker Pelosi is clear, eloquent, legally and morally appropriate and sincerely appreciated.

President Trump so quickly? Something STINKS to high Heaven!

The Democrats know they stole the election, and they want to remove the leader of the movement to disclose the theft. The Democrats have to get Trump out of the way, or the stolen election will always be there, in their face. It won't matter, because we know you stole the election. Things seem bad now, but Drudge abandoned us, then we moved to other sources. The left just made Parler the luckiest business of the year, as half of Twitters customers move to Parler, as soon as they get their servers back up. Facebook will lose half its customers, as they move elsewhere. I don't know why the CEO's bother to advertise, as they run half their customers off. They think they cannot be replaced, but everyone can be replaced. That includes Pence, the guy Flynn didn't lie to.

#3 -- The answer may be a simple as pure unadulterated animus, the same as it's been for the last four years.
They're frothing at the mouth.

Is it really to prevent him from declassifying documents or prevent him from running again ?
If you took a survey of Congress approval today, it would be zero.

#3, they're going for maximum damage against the entire GOP. Thus, they are trying to get the Congressional reps who questioned the election expelled from Congress, trying to get them labelled "domestic terrorists" so they can't travel on airlines, getting them kicked off social media so they can't communicate with their constituents, etc.
Remember Rahm Emanuel's maxim, "Never let a crisis go to waste."
Why didn't the Republicans call the CBC's efforts to question the 2000, 2004, and 2016 elections "coups?" Why didn't they get Bernie Sanders expelled from the Senate, designated a domestic terrorist, or at the very least, censured after the attempted assassination of (literally) dozens of elected Republicans?
This is just the beginning. After Biden is inaugurated there will be an attempt to impose permanent one-party rule. And it could actually succeed.

Pence shoots and scores. But despite her incredibly thin skin, Queen Nancy's skull is undoubtedly too thick to get the message and will assuredly continue pouring kerosene on the fire.

Since they have no chance of actually removing Trump from office, they are just hoping to smear him with a second impeachment to try to end his political career. They are afraid of his huge number of followers and know that, if the election had been held in normal circumstances--no pandemic, no mail-in voting--he would have won. They don't want him to run again--and that includes some "moderate" Republicans like McConnell.

I wasn't shocked or saddened maybe about the murder carried out buy CP of an innocent veteran other than that I got to witness the cowardice of the congress on full display. The entire building was filled with useless Washington jerkoffs.
President Trump is feared and reminds them of the crime they committed by stealing an election his second impeachment won't mean diddly squat to 75+ million voters who still support him. Joe Biden will always be a fraud/fake president with no respect from the people in red states. I will never forget that's for sure.

Pence, FTA: "Last week, I did not yield to pressure to exert power beyond my constitutional authority to determine the outcome of the election, and I will not now yield to efforts in the House of Representatives to play political games at a time so serious in the life of our Nation.”
I never liked Pence but cannot fault his logic expressed in the above quote. Declaring himself VP for another four years would have been a huge conflict of interest, even if he had that unilateral power, which I do not think he had. Perhaps he was wrong and he did possess such power but I do not think he knowingly wimped out or stabbed the president in the back.
